Delhi double fatal fire: Flames were already out when son found parents, no smoke detectors

The couple killed in a fire last week in Delhi Township were found by their son, officials said.

A report released Monday revealed more details about a puzzling fire that apparently killed Larry Morgan and Marsha Morgan, both 69, on May 1.

The Delhi Township Fire Department responded to the 400 block of Samoht Ridge Road at about 4:35 p.m. after Josh Morgan, the couple's son called 911.

The report said Josh Morgan told the 911 operator the fire was already out and he had found his parents deceased.

That's what firefighters found at the home as well, the report said. Officials reported there were no flames, heat or smoke detected that afternoon.

The Hamilton County Coroner said the couple died from smoke inhalation.

Delhi fire officials are still investigating the blaze, but officials said there were no signs of foul play. The Hamilton County Fire Investigation Unit has assisted with the investigation. The Ohio State Fire Marshals office was also alerted to the blaze.

The report states the ignition source of the fire remains undetermined, but that no human factors contributed to the ignition.

There were no smoke detectors in the home, according to the report.

It goes on to say the fire was contained to the living room of the residence, and the couple was found dead in the front bedroom. An upholstered couch was said to have contributed most to spread the fire.
